The wRTOS Virtual Network provides a virtual point-to-point connection between Windows and wRTOS that emulates a local area network connection between Windows and the Real-time Subsystem with no additional hardware required. This virtual network allows Windows and RTSS applications on the same system to use sockets to communicate.
Traditionally, embedded systems with complex Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) use Ethernet to connect the General-Purpose Operating System (GPOS) to the Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). The Virtual Network provides flexibility so the same applications can run and communicate across a network or can coexist on the same system, with no coding changes.
